Avoidance

Apple is giving Papa a little back rub.
Apple: Mama, what's on Papa's back?
Mama: That's a mole.
Apple: Mama, I don't like moles.


Avoiding sleep, Apple is calling in turn for Mama and Papa. When she doesn't get an answer, she walks down the hall to where we can see her...
Apple: Are you coming?!

Runnin', Runnin', Runnin'

Daniel ran a 5K on the Saturday of Halloween. He completed the race in 21 minutes 50 seconds. Out of 500 runners, he came in at the top 10%. He is now continuing to train for a 5K the family is running in Idaho at Thanksgiving. He ran with our friend Travis - the girls are huge fans of him and his wife Bessie. They play often.
